Za’atar

Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend that can be used in a multitude of ways. Generally speaking, za’atar is a combination of dried oregano, thyme, marjoram, with sumac and toasted sesame seeds . The taste of the mixture can be tangy, herbal, nutty, or toasty.

There’s so much to love about za’atar! Bright, earthy and herby, it makes plain stuff (boiled eggs, yogurt, canned chickpeas) taste exciting and exciting stuff (roast chicken, green sauce, homemade hummus) taste that extra bit special.

Use this as a rub for chicken, beef, lamb or fish, sprinkle it over hummus, Labneh or baba ganoush! Or mix with olive oil for a flavourful marinade. Honestly, you could even slice yourself up some ripened vine tomatoes, dot some feta and olive oil over them and finish off with a sprinkle of za’atar. It’s that easy and its a pantry staple! Trust us on this one.
